"Unmatched 3rd party lineup." Did Steam get erased from existence recently?

Consoles don't exist in a vacuum. It's never been easier and more accessible for average gamers to enter the PC gaming market. The noticeable stagnation and recent decline of PS+Xbox sales alongside the continued growth in the PC market validates that fact.

Sony may not be running their console brand into the ground quite as efficiently as Xbox manged to do, but if they keep refusing to innovate at all while relying on derivative generation refreshes and their loyalists, they'll be left behind all the same.

Of course for PlayStation their attempt at innovation will likely just result in them copying Nintendo's homework, again.

I wrote more than virtually anyone here about the risks of Sony's choices, except without sounding like a bitter ex-girlfriend. 

Among consoles, Playstation historically has the best 3rd party support by a wide margin. Modern PCs are definitely better and I'm not trying to hide this lol.

PC is king if you can afford a decent build and you don't hate digital and other minor inconveniences. Yes, it'll potentially kill Playstation like it's killing Xbox, unless Sony makes the right adjustments including pissing you off by "copying" others.

If you can afford a modern console with the continually increasing prices on hardware, accessories and games, you can afford a decent PC with good research and planning. The only barrier is whether you game enough to justify the effort and investment along with having the will to do it.

People should be encouraged to seek the best options and value for themselves, rather than being given excuses to trap themselves in an increasingly abusive relationship. Some relationship advice, since apparently you needed it.
